In early May 2025, Agritek, part of the Melkom group of companies, launched a plant for the manufacture of liquid lecithin and soybean oil in the Roslavl district of the Smolensk region. The volume of investments in the implementation of this project amounted to ₽270 million, which made it possible to create a modern enterprise with a high production capacity.

The company specializes in in-depth cleaning of vegetable oils and is able to process up to 200 tons of raw materials per day. The products produced - liquid lecithin and soybean oil - are new in the company's range and are intended for use in the food and cosmetics industry.

The implementation of the investment project was carried out within the framework of the agreement, which was signed at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum in 2023. This indicates the company's systematic implementation of its investment program and the fulfillment of its obligations.

Agritek is actively developing its production facilities in the Smolensk region. In 2024, it acquired the property complex of the bread base for an amount exceeding ₽260 million, and additionally invested over ₽36 million in updating the infrastructure of this facility.

The management of the enterprise does not stop at the achieved results and is considering the possibility of launching a new large-scale investment project in the near future, which indicates a long-term strategy for the development of the company in the region.

The launch of lecithin and soybean oil production is important for the development of the domestic cosmetic and food industries, as it promotes import substitution and provides Russian enterprises with the necessary components for the production of final products.^[1]
